Eliminating Shipping Errors with RFID-Based Tote Identification
In today’s fast-paced distribution and logistics environment, accuracy, efficiency, and loss prevention are critical to success. Our RFID-based tote identification system is designed to streamline operations, reduce errors, and ensure 100% accuracy in order fulfillment and dispatch in your existing logistical operation.
Key Benefits:
- 100% Accuracy in Order Dispatch – Our innovative scanning system, powered by RFID and real-time verification processes, ensures that only the correct tote boxes are dispatched on each pallet. The system continuously cross-checks tote data with shipping records, instantly flagging discrepancies and preventing costly shipping errors.
Our innovative scanning system guarantees that only the correct tote boxes are dispatched on each pallet, eliminating costly shipping errors. - Automated Route Verification – As soon as the first tote is scanned, the system locks in the designated route for that pallet. Any non-matching totes trigger an immediate warning, preventing misroutes and saving time.
- Real-Time Error Prevention & Alerts – Operators receive instant alerts if an incorrect tote is placed, ensuring immediate correction and preventing costly errors before they escalate. Floor managers are also notified to maintain process integrity.
- Seamless Integration with Existing Systems – Our software integrates with your current warehouse management system, tracking which tote needs to be shipped, where it should be loaded, and when it needs to be dispatched.
- Reduced Labour & Improved Productivity – Automating the tote validation process means fewer manual checks, faster processing times, and reduced labor costs.
- Enhanced Data Tracking & Analytics – Every misplacement is logged for future analysis, providing valuable insights to continuously improve warehouse operations and minimise loss.
How does the Process Works:
- Tote boxes are filled from order pick lines and placed on conveyor belts.
- The system directs totes to their assigned pallet stacking location.
- As totes are stacked, our RFID scanning system verifies and validates each one against the predefined route.
- Any incorrect tote triggers an alert, preventing misroutes and ensuring full accuracy.
- Once verified, the pallet is ready for dispatch with 100% certainty.
Our system has already been successfully tested in a national distribution center, delivering unmatched reliability, proof of shipment and efficiency.
When the pallet is fully stacked the system creates a SSCC code for this pallet. Which is in fact a mother child relationship in the system.
The pallet is moved to the foil wrapping machine, which provides added security, protects the goods during transit, and ensures that no additional or incorrect items are added after verification. A RFID scanner located at this location recognises the tote boxes and prints and encodes the SSCC coded label with human readable destination of the pallet, RFID encoded SSCC code and a barcode or QR code for manual scanning in the further logistic process. Any none conforming tote boxes added at this location to the pallet are rejected in the system, creating a warning signal and information to the floor manager. This is also logged in the log file.
The RFID scanner in the dock door(s) is active in a preset time interval when loading is conducted, preventing unauthorized loading, optimizing workflow, and reducing congestion by ensuring pallets are scanned only during designated times. Outside this time frame the dock door can be used for alternative use.
The RFID scanner reads the SSCC coded label on the pallet and checks if this pallet is indeed for the destination it was meant for. If the pallet does not match the intended destination, a warning is triggered, and the log file is updated.
